APS kit if you can find one. Haven't been in production for years now.
TTIX kit, several vendors sell them.
DKT kit, Redline in Florida I believe is a dealer and the owner of DKT post here a lot.
Custom, Vengance just did a custom one, other shops have done the same.

Wasn't going to list it, but STS is an option too but I wouldn't consider them.

There is also the upp kit which mounts the turbos in the front fenders.

DKT has a lot of RD behind it and can make some impressive numbers. Devin has designed the kit so you can start simple and allow your system to grow. It is loosely based on the APS system in terms of general routing but is much improved.

If your on a budget the STS kit will make you 650-750rwhp on your stock motor, UPP is priced similar and could make more HP

If you want something unique and max power is your goal the only route is custom. Vengeance Racing custom built me the first ever Mid mounted twin turbo system that makes nearly 1600rwhp and went 195 on my first attempt at half mile racing.

APS stopped selling anything to the US after a few issues/scandals.

Why can't I find anything on the DKT kit?

Checked speed inc and cunninghams website, no info at all. Didn't even see the product

Is there a thread where they announced it?

its worked out. due to the bad fbody turbos we got wtih PTE to design much bigger turbos to fit in the same location. got a coulpe customers north of 1400 with just changing the turbos. and them leaving has aloud us to change there kit where needed and bring a much better USA made kit to the market ( not a sales pitch just a fact to answer the questions. please no ban hammer. lololol. )
Bout that time they sold a lot of tt kits for the ls based Holden commodore and they had a bad rep for the turbos going bang. But the kits were only 5500 aud so ppl upgraded the snails. Did kno if they were still afloat as I left oz in 2010 n worked in the industry. Thought they just went broke. Obv not!

I think part of the problem with the F-body kit was they said they came with Mitsu 20g turbos and they were really Chinese knockoffs. When they got called out on not using genuine parts like they claimed they backed out. That is the story I read but who knows the truth of it. I know the turbos were junk and were failing left and right.

From an extremely long bashing thread I remember on tech the owners were basically saying they were sick and tired of the domestic car owner customers. Seemed like they were being held to a higher standard. They were unapologetic about sticking it to all those people and then managed to justify it by blaming the customer. Real stand up company there! Thread may still be there for those than are very bored and want to read.

Keep in mind that these forums are notorious for shuffling stuff under the rug for paying sponsors as long as that check keeps coming in. Nevermind it is paid for with the money the members sent to the sponsor for parts. It happens on tech seemingly annually with turbo kits or longblocks.

Redline Motorsports makes a sweet twin turbo system specifically for the C6 and is about to introduce a twin tusbo for the new C7. Very similiar when compared to the APS system..but..with some nice improvements. I'm not sure if they sell this set-up outright but I know they sell their twin turbo system installed.

Its pretty expensive for a "kit" optioned out you are looking at 14k and its still spray painted and uses cheap hose clamps.

The small induction pipes cause IATs to be high and limit your tuning and boost especially on 93.

That being said Champion motor sports has had good success with the kit, something like 1180rwhp on 93 and meth


--------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a good question, what kind of power do you want?

How will the kit be used? (street vs racing vs shows)

I want a safe set-up on a stock LS3, so 600-650whp, may be around 8 psi !?!?

the TTinc kit is 9000$ not 14 000$... ?!?!
In my mind is more: 9000$ + injectors + fuel pump + tune. May be with a methanol kit.


My dilemma is:
A&A T-trim S/C, 8rib & rad upgrade + headers ( near 9000$)
or
TTinc TT kit ( 9000$ + need fuel upgrade)

No drag.. no 1000whp... just more power for some fun on highway pull! This is what I want.
Any advise? Which one and why?

Still say the DKT kit is the best on the market. Proven big numbers, great product and great customer service.
